Don't complain if he stays out all night?

I'd say these 'tips' were written by a man!

Sadly I think there are some women who believe this is the best way to have a family, they were brought up thinking this.
One is not their own person, they are robotic instead.

I know some women like that too. They are usually very pretty and well dressed, but difficult to have a conversation with. I thought it was a product of too much consumerism, but if she was brought up without any emphasis on developing into a productive and independent person, it can't have helped. Her parents did her (and your son!) a great disservice by limiting her self image like that. The modern world must be a scary place for her!

I have been recently laid off...so since I am home iI do most of the house stuff, shopping, cleaning, dumps run...meals on the table every night...fingers crossed I may be starting a new job on Monday...I can see doing the house stuff and meals if not working...but it is a lot of work keeping up a house but easier than having a full time job and then doing it all....

I remember them days.
I never saw my Mother in pants or shorts until after my Father died in 1958.

My mother was know to do this, and for the most part still does. I grew up in the 60's, thought I never really did embrace the Hippie movement, I quietly became independent in my own way. My girls are strong and confident women with a gentle side as well.
